Herald Courier correspondent Anthony Stevens just reported that rain has postponed today’s Group A baseball quarterfinal between Honaker and visiting James River.
The game has been rescheduled for a 2 p.m. start Wednesday at Harding Field. The postponement won’t help either team’s chances in this weekend’s state tournament, as the survivor will now have to win three games in four days and perhaps not have their No. 1 pitcher available for anything but relief duty on Saturday.
As of 4:23 p.m. Tuesday, Abingdon athletic director Tim Duncan confirmed that the Falcons’ Group AA baseball quarterfinal with Waynesboro was still on for a 7 p.m. start tonight in Abingdon.
Duncan and the Virginia High School League will allow the James River team, which is spending the night in Abingdon, to attend tonight’s Group AA game for free. Nice gesture on the VHSL’s part, by the way.
More thoughts on Abingdon’s game in a bit before I leave for the ball park.
